In the wake of Dosanjh’s nomination for Best Playback Singer for his work in the film ‘Dunki’, Singh reflected on the artist’s unwavering characteristics. “He’s still the same person I knew back then—hardworking, honest, and somewhat introverted. He hasn’t changed much; he’s always been serious and focused,” Yo Yo Honey Singh noted.

The evening was also marked by an exciting announcement regarding a documentary about Singh’s life, set to release on Netflix later this year.

“You should definitely keep an eye out for my documentary,” he revealed. “It’s going to be a world release across 200 countries, and the editing is currently underway. It dives deep into who I really am, so I hope everyone watches it.”
